DVD Notes: Robots
Release Date: 26 September 2005
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment offers Robots in a fully loaded package, starting with Aunt Fanny’s Tour of Booty—a four-minute short (with some mildly questionable content) created especially for the DVD, and The Copperbottom Show—the original short that sold the concept to the studio (with director’s commentary). The DVD release continues with two audio commentaries (one by director Chris Wedge and executive producer William Joyce, the other by head technical and animation directors), Discontinued Parts (deleted scenes with a director’s commentary), Mechanical Mistakes (an outtake reel), as well as the featurettes The Blue Man Group and You Can Shine No Matter What You’re Made Of.
Extra fuel for fun is provided with a few interactive 3-D character biographies, TV spots, trailers and a DVD-Rom link. Gamers will be happy to note the list of bells and whistles includes some play time with Robot Dance, Invent-A-Bot, Fender Photo Shoot and an all-new Xbox exclusive multiplayer racing game (featuring never-before-seen tracks, gameplay modes and gadgets where players can race as one of several characters from Robots). Because the creative team behind this computer animation also worked on the film Ice Age, the studio takes some disc space to talk-up their next endeavor with a promotional film and a look at the making of Ice Age 2. The movie Robots is presented in either widescreen or full screen formats. Both feature audio tracks in English (DTS and Dolby 5.1), Spanish (Dolby Surround Sound) and French (Dolby Surround Sound), with subtitles available in Spanish.
